Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array for probing cosmology and fundamental physics with gamma-ray propagation

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the new-generation ground-based observatory for $\gamma$-ray astronomy, provides unique capabilities to address significant open questions in astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. We study some of the salient areas of $\gamma$-ray cosmology that can be explored as part of the Key Science Projects of CTA, through simulated observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and of their relativistic jets. Observations of AGN with CTA will enable a measurement of $\gamma$-ray absorption on the extragalactic background light with a statistical uncertainty below 15% up to a redshift $z=2$ and to constrain or detect $\gamma$-ray halos up to intergalactic-magnetic-field strengths of at least 0.3pG. Extragalactic observations with CTA also show promising potential to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. The best limits on Lorentz invariance violation from $\gamma$-ray astronomy will be improved by a factor of at least two to three. CTA will also probe the parameter space in which axion-like particles could constitute a significant fraction, if not all, of dark matter. We conclude on the synergies between CTA and other upcoming facilities that will foster the growth of $\gamma$-ray cosmology

Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array for probing cosmology and fundamental physics with gamma-ray propagation

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the new-generation ground-based observatory for γ astronomy, provides unique capabilities to address significant open questions in astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. We study some of the salient areas of γ cosmology that can be explored as part of the Key Science Projects of CTA, through simulated observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and of their relativistic jets. Observations of AGN with CTA will enable a measurement of γ absorption on the extragalactic background light with a statistical uncertainty below 15% up to a redshift z=2 and to constrain or detect γ halos up to intergalactic-magnetic-field strengths of at least 0.3 pG . Extragalactic observations with CTA also show promising potential to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. The best limits on Lorentz invariance violation from γ astronomy will be improved by a factor of at least two to three. CTA will also probe the parameter space in which axion-like particles could constitute a significant fraction, if not all, of dark matter.

A modification of the TCu380A IUD to create the model TCu380S was introduced many years ago. The TCu380S utilizes copper sleeves that are flush in the plastic and are set at both ends of the horizontal arm. The objective of this study is to compare the clinical performance of the TCu380A and the TCu380S IUDs, especially regarding contraceptive performance and expulsion, in a cohort of women who had one of these two devices inserted at random. This paper presents the results up to 5 years of use. A total of 1568 women were enrolled: 806 women received a TCu380A and 762 women received a TCu380S IUD. The performance was evaluated by life-table analysis and significance between rates was tested by the method of log-rank. The cumulative pregnancy rate was low in users of both models of IUD but lower in users of the TCu380S model through the 5 years of use, without statistical significance. Expulsion was significantly higher in users of the TCu380S model during the five years of use. The other reasons for discontinuation were similar for both devices and did not show statistical significance. The continuation rate was significantly lower in users of the TCu380S model in the first and second years of use. Both devices presented a very low pregnancy rate and TCu380S presented a lower pregnancy rate than the TCu380A, although without statistical significance.15275-8

No Relationship Between The Iud Position Evaluated By Ultrasound And Complaints Of Bleeding And Pain.

The objectives of this study were to define the normal position of the T-shaped intrauterine device (IUD) in the endometrial cavity, using transvaginal ultrasound, and to compare the IUD's position in women with and without complaints of bleeding and/or pain. Vaginal ultrasound was carried out in women who had used a T-Cu 200 or T-Cu 380 for at least 6 months. Of these women, 236 registered bleeding complaints and/or pain and 245 had no complaints. The distances, IUD-endometrium, IUD-myometrium, and IUD-fundus, were measured in each woman. Our results showed that women with and without complaints presented no significant differences in age, parity, type of IUD, duration of use, previous contraceptive method used, hysterometry, uterine position, or period of the cycle in which the ultrasound was performed. The values of the three distances in users without complaints were widely dispersed. The 90th percentile of the IUD-endometrium, IUD-myometrium, and IUD-fundus distances were 7, 11, and 27 mm, respectively. The curve of the values for the three distances among women with complaints was similar to that of the subjects without complaints. Using the generally accepted measurement of 20 or 25 mm as the limits of normality of the distance IUD-fundus, and the 90th percentile of the distance IUD-endometrium as the gold standard, 77% and 43% of the women were false positives for incorrect IUD position. Similar results were obtained when the 90th percentile of the distance IUD-myometrium was used as a gold standard. We concluded that the 90th percentiles of the distance IUD-endometrium, IUD-myometrium, and IUD-fundus were 7, 11 and 27 mm, respectively, among users without complaints. The ultrasonographic diagnosis of the IUD position was unable to discriminate between women who did or did not have complaints of bleeding and/or pain. If ultrasound were to be performed in T-shaped IUD users, the IUD-myometrium distance is likely to be the most reliable measurement.5643-
